downing street of the club and one of the outcomes of a meeting between russia's foreign minister and his british counterpart of blunted its hopes to implement integrations which have cooled says the death of former federal security service agent xander franco in london in two thousand and six. blocks while several european national leaders say multiculturalism has failed and also says she has been tried and found guilty for saying much the same thing in her criticism of muslims and that really this comes as no migrants believe that troubled countries in search of stability and security in europe. as the headlines up next to prove russia's culture minister and the spotlight off king while the upcoming visit of spain's king to the country could boost multi cultural ties between the two. culture is that so much i'm going to make a lot of people in your area look at is the world facing

a serious and sustained food crop prices are at all time highs and tens of millions of people are joining the dinner. hello again the welcome to spotlight the interview show on r.t.e. our in the event today my guest in the studio is alex on the. cultural ties between russia and italy they back to the fifteenth century when italian architects built several cathedrals in the moscow premier while spanish and russian cultures have often been compared as standing on the western and eastern fridges of the european civilization maybe that explains why two thousand and eleven is the russia italy russia spain crust here what are we to expect from it and why are these two events

being held together russia's culture minister alexandr. the russian exchange will see many cultural events held in both countries there are many join to navigation and to show the similarities and differences between the nations during the year the best italian exhibitions theatre groups and musicians will be the drug and of course the fever will be returned as for speed this exchange will kiss you may leave economical go with greed one neglect the cultural side and will bring parts of the prado museum collection to the hermitage in st petersburg. thank you very much for coming to our program today. is the year of russia in italy . russia last year it was the year of france why does russia think it to be

a big important. i have to say it seems to me that broad they don't pay so much attention to these things i mean do you feel like that. the french were delighted by what we brought to france this year of russia in france and france in russia we showed french else and culture in all their glory across russia. over your across the whole country the russians and the french were. i don't know who logged more but i think it was beneficial for all of us only. last year it was around the year of russia and france and the euro france and russia this year you doubled it russia in italy and italy and russia and russia. and russia what was the reason to intensify the cultural ties thank you but.

there is no finance oriented plan behind besides simply get to get acquainted with the spanish and italian cultures that we love and value. it turned out there waiting for us in spain and italy for all the best ballets trickle performances and dark exhibitions. and another reason is that we still have the money for it. the money is coming to an end it was a. huge funding investments in culture are not the same as in business they do not give direct returns. do so by forming culture and intellect culture and education of the two things that form. the nation's intellect the intellect and the values of every person's. culture is so important. to me information transport politics and medical care all of them can stitch of this fear in which people live

. every person has their intellect continually formed in his mind. beliefs and to treat other people. and to the nearest and dearest such concepts as courage fairness honesty love to arts commitment to democracy and civil society all of them are formed by the means of culture. you can't learn it by heart school study it out school cultures and interact forming concepts there is no culture the nation will be wealthy and prosperous if everything is alright with the economy but. russian culture is great not only because we have so many talents is it because culture is among the main values which form the mage of russia the essence of it. the essence of life in russia culture. i can actually speak a lot about it. in music it's a separate topic

a canadian was a kid for us culture is more than just an industry. some of the most outstanding art collections from italy and spain are going to be brought to russia as part of this year's cultural exchange spotlight limited me the has. the moscow museum of fine art is a place to get the feeling of italy visitors are welcomed by the state of michelangelo's david the what's on their replica their real ones in florence king and masterpieces are already on their way to moscow to make a thing of the two groups within these walls last year the museum hosted the biggest of a display of the works in russia. the pictures were brought to the russian capital from paris as part of the cultural exchange with france the exhibition was such a success you had to queue for an hour to get inside the museum this year you know

half curve i'd shown this way through none of his works in moscow at the moment so their vision is bound to draw crowds it was told until. caravaggio exhibit is very hard to put together but not so many of his works a left in italy in exchange for caravaggio where sending a very good collection of impressionist to milan at court. russia will also swap art with spain the bulk of it will be between madrid's prado and simple is brooks hermitage moscow who is going to send one of its most precious masterpieces because those go in the ball to spain and who host an exhibition of the best known of surrealists so who do a dali by mural court so many exhibitions of salvador dali around the world have nothing to do with dali at all his works are excessively county heated at our exit best and it will be one hundred percent authentic it's from dolly's famous museum

in catalonia with the. exchange in exhibitions is just part of what's planned to the russian italy in russia spain course culture here the bolshoi theater is going to host some of the major events at the moment it's in the final stages of for innovation and by the end of the year russians are going to see performances by milan's le scala and madrid's royal theatre in the bolshoi. what would you say is more interesting in a cross cultural exchange of this kind the sewer talents for example because they would be the both a theater or say show to fall the balance of chukchee than the. last we should ask italians about it judging by the very questions very interesting. in everything from. health ski as well as russia's guard and post having gone artists. for example the days of italy will open with

a beautiful exhibition of alexandra de necco an artist who was underestimated who all italians consider him a genius knew his exhibition will open in russia and be transported to majeed paris and other countries who want to see. is there any use in this cultural exchange can you tell us for example about the euro france i'm not speaking about financial profit but what's the practical use of it. that this is the benefit is great we're drowning in a sea of markets valleys numbers on the flow of information but on the masterpieces of the culture created in russia and france falls in the background. so we can refresh our memory by looking at the best masterpieces from both countries here it's great to have the opportunity both for us in our friendship partners to plunge into the russian and french cultures. at the moment there is an obstacle for

culture in russia just stumbled over the market. that is really for it's happened in the countries of the european union and now it's happened in russia. in this country we have always evaluated the products of culture according to their intellectual value but nowadays products of culture have become certain markets items. i say have valued by the markets a price order which does not depend on the. greatness of the mass to base the promotion is. on the people who promote the projects. real culture is being popular culture. culture or simply by show business. but in such circumstances it's very useful to come back to the basics of russian and french culture to the police and says alexander the culture minister of russia

spotlight will be back shortly we'll continue this interview in less than a minute stay with. our. going. back. to our rally will sell lots of beer will. they will wear uniforms that will damage the black man know that but very little damning the wife. and

market why not. find out what's really happening to the global economy which might stronger for a no holds barred look at the global financial headlines kaiser reports. welcome back to spotlight just a reminder that my guest in the studio today is alexander the culture minister of russia. will be shown in the heritage. pictures exhibited in the. last carlo will perform in the

bolshoi. highlight certain events as more important than others we did it can you name the head since we were. little is there something. special the key or would you have listed all the events i mentioned more. i would like those cultural exchange events more masterpieces. i love the prada museum. it's one of the best museums in the world's aids famous in russia. exhibitions from it's very few and we're waiting for them it's as important as. all the great painters of the italian renascence. we're also waiting for them in the pushkin museum who. was able to see how truces those words it's always been a secret. better ask them what they like best do you really ask them or do you

decide on your own what we. received from italy. your request from them do you have tools we ask you what we are interested in and they order from you yes they would have from us do they ask people or make calls. judging by what. happens this way officials gathered to discuss what order i think of the mechanism so less complicated they ask for the bass we have to and we can satisfy all their requests. for the best to you and the qualities equal. few words about languages russian italian and spanish they are an indispensable part of culture just because he has does a language constitute part of the cultural exchange. so we've literally we've arranged a year of the russian language and culture where the language is a part of the. will arrange

a contest for the best interpreter but it would just translations from russian into sally and and from italian into russian or. of languages and communication of very important but i watched all the three languages russian spanish and italian and been ousted by means of market economy and soon they find themselves on the fringe of the international exchanges you mean nothing else yes but with all my respect to the english language a deal it's not somebody evil plan which but a natural processes of say. i'll use english is simply convenient it has become today's esperanto for use. for everyone for us. i mean that ask around so it's not exactly a language but a means of communication a business or business in for diplomats right maybe for tourists or not for anything else you see it does not spread to cultural saw us we have

a great interest to tell you in and spanish languages in russia in russia because we have good schools especially since spain and italy we have strong translations schools of literary translation translation of poetry translation of c. of on to among the best in our opinion. very difficult to translate poetry specially from analytical languages like it sal and spanish but nonetheless we are writing great translations of the same is with the russian language preserving respect and interest of the languages of each other we preserve our own culture the world's culture and languages. more russian speaking foreigners are coming to this country. only my impression think it is simply your impression so the russian language has the same fate as german french italian spanish and cetera being ousted by the english language look at the number of schools where they teach different foreign languages in russia the number of

schools with russian painter unfortunately the number of such schools is decreasing . very used to seeing the ball show a theater covered. future imagery of the theater is painted. moscow has been planned for a. mistake in. the reconstruction the works will be finished. electrician and technical workers musicians will move into the boys showing symptoms and will start working and rehearsing their. sound equipment fighting and technical equipment and they will start rehearsals so that and we promise to open the theater and give the first performance is in the. first. dances of the last column. you see.

does not mean to drop the curtain it's an opening in season amongst the performances we are glad that we've agreed with the last call and it will give the performance. director of the heritage of st petersburg recently said in an interview to this kind of paper that senior russia badly needs a museum of modern arts like the new york museum of modern art you don't have a personal. contacts a lot on business grass to be able to have the. project. profar from the new york museum you definitely know the pompidou center in france. is really so we need such a museum there is no one to take care of it it's such a museum was to be built forty or fifty years ago when the pompidou center was built our remember when it was opened. it was very different now every one of the

the french made a wise things and the museum is among the best in the world in moscow in the soviet times korea but they did not want to create such a museum for ideological reasons and there was a famous crisis in the ninety nine to the moment we're planning to build such a museum we've chosen the place and the architectural project is ready moscow and st petersburg and moscow and the city center we are hopeful that the construction will start next year where you see all the necessary approvals that will so. scandalous character. of the american court. past in the us this action. after that ruling. became cautious when sending their exhibits to the us i guess they're afraid that actually the exhibits

can be detained there how can this situation and. this ruling the reviewed and. cautious when they send their collections to other countries such as interleaving or spain or france. or american partners created this situation. and it's become an obstacle in the way of a partnership in this sphere of culture a purely american situational american situation in danger for a year or two years with white on expectedly in mind of the collection of manuscript which is never been taken abroad and has been legally stored in the russian state library since one thousand nine hundred eighteen and. no one has legal rights for it. americans can vent of the term spiritual rights. the moral rights yes moral rights but if so

we should give away all the exhibits from our museums it's absolutely unacceptable that a common american. judged states actions according to international law state is actually. it's absurd no one in the most good court will judge the state of italy or spain because of international law forbids it. forms our counterparts in the u.s. department of state about our position we say that the state is extra digital by the way the us chancellor provisions of international law. unfortunately the court's ruling was in favor of religious organization in a very similarly just organization exists in russia. we speak about spiritual inheritance good russian religious organizations same religious kind of activity have far more spiritual opportunities needs and rights to be

interested in the fate of this collection. so the situation is such that despite provisions of international law a common american courts made a ruling on the state of russia. it's a judged the right to receive russian prophecy on the u.s. territory. so if this happens. sickly any exhibition or any property uncovered by diplomatic community may be arrested or american more. so with a bitter regrets because a diplomat we made a decision that's exhibitions of russian culture really could not be organizing the moments in the u.s. . unfortunately. do you think you will be able to change this situation we've talked to the u.s. diplomats on the show we are waiting now for the business of the u.s.

and nobody else. sponsor verrall action can paint. the department of state will realize its a mission. and will explain to the u.s. schools and community and it is done it long time ago that the reason for national law which we all of a. culture should not be a host in such circumstances we send our exhibitions only to the countries which give a hundred percent guarantee they will reach a correction. when we speak of italy and spain always give such guarantees. as well as gas that's why there are no pretensions the. question is about the system of education. my child goes to school and as a parent i have certain apprehensions as to was going on there usual secondary

schools i recently read an article in a newspaper that said that there's the threat of several large schools being closed in moscow. about the situation of arts education the russian arts education among the best in the world media it's a legacy from the zon period of russia and the soviet union but well this is. this is high level back then first of all it is to be properly financed. to preserve national traditions and the tradition of education let's take actors abroad as they are taught for two and a half years in russia we preserve the russian acting school where an actor studies for four or five years we did not join the bologna process in the. professions. his position is one should study for five years to become a theatre a film director cannot do an orchestra conductor is to study for four or five years should the should be no bachelors and masters and these professions and the same is

with axes preserved our traditional system and high standards of education is according to. police and to give attention to children schools but you should supply them with good instruments teachers should be socially protected as much as teachers in secondary school. working on the moment. thank you very much for being with us and just a reminder that my guest in the studio was. the russian culture and that's it. if you have your life just dropped i would be back with more. outside russia until then they are to take.
